Melbourne: Sun Books Pty. Ltd., 1966. First edition. Sq. 8vo. Stapled wrps., 92pp. "The Year's Best Cartoons", selected by Oz editor, Richard Walsh, with accompanying texts by him (and one by Richard Neville).

The book's title is a pun on the name of Australia's then prime minister, Harold Holt, who helped end the White Australia immigration policy (he disappeared without trace in December 1967 while swimming at a beach near Point Nepean, presumed drowned, arousing several conspiracy theories).

Cover slightly rubbed, with some sunning, especially to lower wrapper, o/w Very Good plus.

TERMS

PAYMENT

Payment may be made by VISA, MASTERCARD and AMERICAN EXPRESS, via BACS transfer, or by cheque in UK pounds drawn on a UK bank.

All items offered are subject to being unsold at the time of your order.

Prices are Net to all.

SHIPPING

Postage is charged extra, as close as possible to actual cost.

Great care is taken in packing to ensure that all items arrive at their destination in the same condition as sent. Most orders are shipped within 2 business days.

Domestic orders are usually sent via Recorded or Special Delivery. Heavy packages are likely to be sent via parcel post, unless other arrangements have been made.

For international orders, the actual cost of shipping and insurance (where required) will be charged separately to your credit card after the order has been sent. This allows for the exact amount to be charged rather than an estimate (due to variations in weight, size, value and destination country, the cost of international shipments can vary greatly). The order confirmation email you receive will not include this additional charge, but where possible I will notify customers with the total amount charged once the order has shipped. FedEx is also available for international orders.

RETURNS

Every attempt is made to describe each item carefully and accurately, and all items are guaranteed as described. Any item considered to be not as described may be returned within 7 days of receipt, provided it's in original condition and prior notification is given.
